Property Reinstatements FAQs
What does “reinstatements” mean in the context of property damage?
Reinstatement refers to restoring a property after damage back to its pre‑loss condition, whether from fire, water, flood, subsidence, or other insured perils.
It can include repairing structural elements, replacing finishes, reinstating fixtures and fittings, and all building work needed to make the property safe, usable and aesthetically acceptable.
Who are your reinstatement clients, & do you deal with insurance claims?
Yes, we provide reinstatement services for many client types, including insurers, loss adjusters, housing associations, private landlords, and homeowners.
We are experienced in handling insured loss claims and work closely with insurance companies to ensure reinstatement is carried out to the required standard.
What is the process you follow for reinstatement works?
- Assessment – A detailed inspection to assess the damage, determine which parts of the property need reinstating, and produce a bespoke report.
- Planning – Work out which trades are needed, regulatory requirements, such as building regulations, and timings, so that works are coordinated efficiently.
- Drying / Remediation First – If there is water damage or damp, that is treated first to avoid future issues.
- Rebuilding / Repair – This includes structural repair, restoration of walls/floors/ceilings, reinstatement of fixtures, finishes, and making sure the property is functional and safe.
- Final Sign‑Off & Compliance – Ensuring that all works meet necessary standards, issuing guarantees or warranties where applicable, and providing regulatory/compliance documentation.
How long does reinstatement take, and what about disruption?
The timescale depends heavily on the scale and nature of the damage. Small reinstatements, like minor repairs and finishes, can take a few days. Larger jobs, like structural, full-room or multiple areas, can take weeks or more.
We aim to minimise disruption by planning trades carefully, keeping you informed throughout, and working around occupants’ schedules where possible.
What costs or guarantees are involved with reinstatement?
After the initial assessment, we provide a detailed quote for reinstatement work. When works are part of an insurance claim, we liaise with insurers and loss adjusters to confirm what is covered. Where applicable, we offer guarantees or warranties on our workmanship and materials. All regulatory paperwork is supplied.
